This research is to determine the common diseases or ailments experienced by adults over the age of 40. Approach: A sample of 150 respondents was taken from three states in Malaysia, an IDC. Demographic profiles such as age, gender and race were obtained and questions regarding … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 4 Feb 2011 · 8,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Exact Root Algorithm for Computing the Real Roots of an Nth Degree PolynomialE. A. Adebile, V. I. IdokoProblem statement: The need to find an efficient and reliable algorithm for computing the exact real roots of the steady-state polynomial encountered in the investigation of temperature profiles in biological tissues during Microwave heating and other similar cases as found in the literature gave rise to this study. Approach: The algorithm (simply called ERA-Exact Root Algorithm) adopted polynomial deflation technique … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSepticemia: The Principal Killer of Burns PatientsB. R. Sharma, Virendar Pal Singh, Sumedha Bangar, Neha GuptaBurn injury is a major problem in many areas of the world and it has been estimated that 75% of all deaths following burns are related to infection. Burns impair the skin’s normal barrier function thus allowing microbial colonization of the burn wounds and even with the use of topical antimicrobial agents, contamination is almost unavoidable. It is therefore essential … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioengineering Assessment on Sloppy GroundMu'azu Mohammed Abdullahi, Nazri Bn Ali, Kamarudin Bn Haj AhmedProblem statement: Soft engineering solution of sloppy surface utilizes mechanical and hydrological effects of vegetation. The hydrological effects driven by transpiration, induces an increase in matric suction and consequently tension also increase along with the decrease of moisture. Therefore once the horizontal stress of the soil exceeds the limit of tensile strain of the soil cracks occurs. Approach: The negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMinimum and Complete Fluidization Velocity for Sand-Palm Shell Mixtures, Part I: Fluidization Behavior and Characteristic VelocitiesV. S. Chok, A. Gorin, H. B. ChuaProblem statement: Palm shell on its original state cannot be fluidized solely. However, mixing palm shell with a second fluidizable material can facilitate proper fluidization. Approach: The minimum and complete fluidization velocity (Umf and Ucf) for sand/palm shell binary mixtures had been studied in a partitioned reactor known as Compartmented Fluidized Bed Gasifier (CFBG). The pilot scale reactor ID is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,221 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Volatile Metabolites from Fungal Endophytes with Biocontrol Potential towards Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. cubense Race 4A.S.Y. Ting, S.W. Mah, C.S. TeeProblem statement: Fungal endophytes are widely studied for their potential as biocontrol agents towards fungal pathogens. In vitro assessments usually reveal their antibiosis and mycoparasitism nature, but little is understood regarding their production of volatile metabolites as mechanisms of antagonism. Approach: This study explored the potential of fungal endophytes in controlling the pathogen responsible for Fusarium wilt disease. Nine fungal … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo Optimization Methods to Determine the Rate Constants of a Complex Chemical Reaction Using FORTRAN and MATLABAbdel-Latif Aboul Seoud, Lamiaa A.M. AbdallahProblem statement: For chemical reactions, the determination of the rate constants is both very difficult and a time consuming process. The aim of this research was to develop computer programs for determining the rate constants for the general form of any complex reaction at a certain temperature. The development of such program can be very helpful in the control of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 8,050 accessesView PDFCite
